Martin Brodeur insists that he hasn’t lost faith in his team, but it’s possible that it’s already too late for the Devils to turn things around.

While the Devils face long odds to avoid an early vacation, the Maple Leafs pushed their standings total to 53 points, solidifying their spot in fifth place and making a playoff berth seem that much more likely.

Great Idea!
Lets write about the Devils losing 10 games in a row.
The Leafs can’t stop winning, and are about to make the playoffs in the first time in forever, yet they get NO love whatsoever on this site.

I have watched all ten games of this skid and could someone compile how many shots the devils have had against the opposition in total? I know the results will be astounding. By the way Marty is STILL stuck on win 666…

Don’t worry they play the flyers on Thursday. Flyers can’t beat them when they are good.

The Leafs have put up some troubling shot counts at times this season – this isn’t the first time they’ve somehow managed to log less than 15 shots on goal. Granted, they can dial it WAY up from there – but a couple performances like that could kill a playoff run very, very swiftly.

Still loving that they’re a playoff team no matter what, though. Really hoping they’ll match up against the Habs this year. God, I miss seeing those two in a playoff bout.

It’s amazing to me that the Devils are still in 11th despite their ACTUAL record of 15-27. Only in hockey do you get rewarded for losing a game, just in a longer fashion. I’m all for parity but these 3 point games are a joke. With that record the Devils should only be ahead of the Panthers.
